Let's kid not ourselves. There are lot of very powerful interests behind the "energy industry", roughly divided into four large sectors: fossil fuels, nuclear power, renewables and electrical generation itself. At this point in time there exists a multitude of cross-investments and interdependencies, so it becomes increasingly difficult to clearly seperate the interests as it is quite lucrative to just play all sides, a convergence. There is actually a lot to gain from this stragetic move. The technocracy movement in the 30s[0] as a third way (to capitalism and communism) had in its heart the replacement of the "fiat system" through "energy certificates" literally denoted in energy units of kWh. In some way or another these ideas are slowly creeping up to the surface in a transformed landscape as a way of allocating resources, governing, controlling. It worries me that this kind of top-down-single-linear-metrics social engineering isn't openly and broadly question anymore (except in "conspiratorial" niches) , quite to the contrary it is embraced by a lot of ordinary people (who have nothing to gain from it but a lot to lose) to fight climate change. In a sense arguing over possible "clean" energy sources in the future and carefully weighing the pros and cons only touches the surface level without the actual governance model for its implementation. It is quietly and skillfully circumvented. Democracy Dies in Darkness.
